as I stare at the dozen games updating everyday, many of them for the 20th time, I realize that steam was sent from hell and is run by psychopaths and that game development now is basically all pretty paint outside but nothing inside actually works. too bad having a quality product at release and some sense of pride is missing now in the game development world.

Sadly I blame the Dev's more. But some does go to steam for their auto update program for games. As much as I like the feature when the patches do not break the game more and they actually fix the game issues.

But to the testing of games. I have to blame gamers wanting to pay for early access this made game dev's think. Hey why pay for people to test the games when we can get the gamers to do that work for us. Heck even pay to do it to....... This practice should be stopped by all gamers then then Game dev's will have to do their job when no one will buy their games.

I agree on the early access issue. I think until gamers stop this practice on our end of paying to test a game for them, game devs will not change the way they are moving their products to the market.

maybe they make games faulty by purpose in order to slow down cheats/trainers/hacker... I would! Not only i show gamers/buyers that we care and are up to date, honest, hard working... and there is lots of money in it too, Politics baby work everywhere! lol cheers!

There is only one thing that can be done: consumer boycott!I never bought from steam and I dont intend to, I buy mostly retail and I also support and buy games from GOG because they have fair prices and 'drm free' finished games.
